The government, through the Ministry of Tourism and Wildlife, has invited Kenyans to provide comments on a proposal that might increase park entry fees.
Through a newspaper notice on Tuesday, July 15, the ministry invited tourism and wildlife industry stakeholders, members of the public, and all interested parties to submit their comments, views, and input on the Wildlife Conservation and Management (Access and Conservation) (Fees) Regulations, 2025.
The new proposal provides for fees payable for access and conservation of national parks, national reserves, national marine parks, national marine reserves, and national sanctuaries. Kenyans were thereby invited to give feedback on the Regulatory Impact Statement, that contained detailed information on the anticipated impact of the proposed regulations.
